Thinking of moving this Spring?

Happy Easter!

This is the time of year to start thinking about moving!  Perhaps you are dreaming of an incredible kitchen (without the hassle of lots of building work) or a larger garden (perfect for your children to build dens, or your dream vegetable patch!) or an extra bedroom (wouldn’t your love to have more space and enjoy being able to invite friends and family to stay without ‘the squeeze’).

We thought we would share with you a few of our dream properties available this Easter (to tempt you to move!)

Dreaming of living on Brighton Seafront… 

Located on Brighton seafront, this stunning two bedroom mansion flat, in the desirable Chichester Terrace in prime location

Dreaming of a view onto open fields…

With southerly facing gardens backing onto open fields – can you resist… just imagine a glass of wine in this beautiful garden.

Dreaming of fabulous parties… the perfect entertaining home!

A simply stunning character home located on a secluded plot within a short walk of Crawley Down village.

Dreaming of incredible bathroom (one made for candles and deep bubble baths!)

Dreaming of owning a completely unique home!

Tucked away in a rural setting and surrounded by countryside, a unique and beautifully presented former water tower full of charm and character. Seldom found and converted into a superb family home, with excellent accommodation and a roof terrace that will take your breath away.

Dreaming of a wonderful dining room 

Situated on this prestigious Berkeley Homes development is this stunning three double bedroom townhouse, which benefits from having three bathrooms, a wraparound garden and allocated parking with garage.

Dreaming of a light and bright kitchen.. we have fallen in love (look at the dining room!)

Dreaming of (the most) stunning wood burning stove…

If you have fallen in love with this wood burning take a peak in side the whole house!

If you are thinking of moving or letting your house this Spring we would love to chat! Our team will sell your home as quickly as possible for the highest price and, importantly, move you into your next dream home… the next chapter for you and your family.  Call us to day on 0330 223 1000 or LIVE CHAT with us via our website!

Easter – Things to make!

The weather is looking very mixed this Easter – although we all dream of Easter eggs hunts in the sunshine, perhaps with a cup of tea (or glass of wine!), it might be a bit more tricky in the rain.

We have created a Pinterest Board with things to do (inside) – lovely Easter Craft activities (similar to the style of crafts we ‘do’ at our Move Revolution children’s events)

You don’t need to go and buy anything special – although if you are looking for last minute Easter ‘bits and pieces’ we have seen some fantastic bargains in The Works and also larger Sainsbury’s!

Tell us which idea you love the most!

We love incredible Easter Hats – why not arrange you own Easter Bonnet competition!

A Mini Indoor Easter Egg Hunt (with a bit of ‘education’ thrown in just for fun!) – perfect for wet weather – we love this!

Decorating and Dying Eggs – What great fun!

We hope you have lots of fun!

We love supporting Reigate Parish Church Primary School

It’s Fundraising Fortnight for Reigate Parish Church Primary School!

We enjoyed supporting this fabulous fundraising activity so much last year – we are joining in the fun again in 2018!

How does it work!

The children of Reigate Parish Church Primary School all come home with their Fundraising Fortnight Sponsorship Form.  They are asked to put their thinking caps on and think of ways they can raise money for their school over the Easter holidays. Perhaps baking some cakes and sell them to your friends and family, help your parents with a spot of gardening, give-up treats for two weeks (yes, really!), promise not to argue with your brother or sister (perhaps that’s even harder than giving-up treats!), a sponsored silence (almost impossible!) anything goes, so be creative and have fun at the same time!

Which one would you choose?

Planting sunflower seeds to create a spectacular show of colour later in the summer

Reading a book every day (or more) throughout the holidays!

Making breakfast in bed (although you might need help with the hot drinks)

Cleaning a car (or ‘lots of cars’) this is always popular

Having a clear out of old toys … and take them to the charity shop!

… a cake sale (an old favourite) … who can resist!

Once the children have come up with their very special idea(s), they fill in the form and make a note of how much money they have raised

The most fun for the Move Revolution team is seeing all the entries and choosing the prize winners!

We have created three categories for the prizes

1. The most ingenious idea in Reception, Y1, Y2 and Y3
2. The class that raises the most money overall
3. The class that has the most sponsors (not money!)

Can you imagine the fun we have looking at all the ideas and choosing or working out the winners.  Best of all … all the money goes directly to the school!

We hope all the children at Reigate Parish Church Primary School have lots of fun coming up with their sponsorship idea and bringing it to life – we can’t wait to see all your entries!

Easter Holiday things to do – recommended by your Move Revolution team

It feels like Spring! Daffodils fill gardens and woodlands, the sun is shining – we all love Easter time at Move Revolution.  We know how many of you are ‘time strapped’ and love our ‘things to do’ blogs as an easy way of finding out great things to do throughout Surrey, Sussex and Kent.  Whether you are looking for an Easter Egg hunt or a a great day out we hope you love our ideas!

… we know you will have an amazing time if you try out any of these activities or places to go!

Earlswood Lake, Redhill Bird Box Trail 

Something wonderful has been going on at Earlswood Lakes (the lakes have seen some amazing work over the past couple of years, and definitely worth a visit)  If you fancy a stroll in the Spring sunshine around the lakes … see if you can spot these gorgeous Bird Boxes.  Each bird box has been individual designed – which one is your favourite! There is a cafe at the lake so you can have a cup of tea whilst you walk – or pop into Reigate afterwards for a delicious lunch at Cullenders Delicatessen  and a spot of shopping!

 

 

Bentley Wildfowl and Motor Museum

Bentley Wildfowl and Motor Museum is located just outside Lewes, it really is a wonderful day out and perfect for the Easter holidays! We love the miniature railway (which is great fun) there is a lovely café and the highlight for anyone who is animal crazy – there are gorgeous miniature Shetland ponies.

A Walk in the woods – will you find Winnie the Pooh

A firm favourite for the Move Revolution team is walking on Ashdown Forest followed by tea at Pooh Corner! If you haven’t visited this quirky tea shop be prepared for all things Winnie the Pooh! Enjoy a toasted tea cake and hot chocolate with marshmallows as a reward for your welly boot walk!

The Volks – The World’s Oldest Electric Railway! 

This looks like great fun – but we don’t know the exact details to share with you yet! The Volks Electric Railway in Brighton is the World’s oldest operating electric railway and is due to open at the end of March / Easter Holidays. The railway will run from the Aquarium / The Palace Pier to Black Rock Station – to find out all the latest news keep an eye on their website!

Bocketts Farm – Meet the Shepherds!

This is a fantastic family day out –  as the lambing seasons gets into full swing! With over 350 gorgeous newborn lambs due, there will be plenty of opportunity to learn about the lambs in ‘Meet the Shepherd’ sessions and even watch one being born! Children will also love to get up close to the baby chicks, ducklings and bunnies in the Small Animal Village

The Italian Job at: Horsham Piazza Italia

We have heard that Horsham Piazza Italia 2018 will be the largest free to attend Easter event in the South East of England. If you love all things Italian you will love this celebration of Italian food and drink, super cars, bikes and cultural entertainment. You even get the chance to join in the Italian Job ‘convoy’ from 10:30-10:45 on Good Friday 30 March, and afterwards in the Piazza (Carfax) – remember to email gsg@italianjob.com with your name, full postal address, mobile number and your Mini’s model, colour, year and registration to join in!

Follow the Yellow Brick Road – The Wizard of Oz at The Harlequin.

A number of theatres are now putting on fabulous Easter Productions (similar to going to the Panto at Christmas) The Wizard of Oz at The Harlequin, Redhill comes highly recommended, meet Dorothy as she goes on a magical adventure to the Land Of Oz, this classic story is going to be packed with “good jokes, singing and dance routines, spectacular scenery and plenty more for all the family!”

 

 Egg Rolling on Cousldon Common!

This sounds like great fun – we chatted amongst the Move Revolution team and quite a few of the team have never taken part in ‘egg rolling’ – whilst a number of us enjoy this activity over the Easter weekend, more often than not at home in our gardens! Decorate your hard boiled eggs and then agree a ‘course’ (better if it is on a slight slope) the winner is the person who’s egg travels the furthest without the shell breaking (Move Revolution rules!!)

You have to ring and book to take part in the Coulsdon Common Egg Rolling Event (click on the link above) You will decorate eggs, keep one to take home and roll the other one down a massive hill to see if you can be the winner. There are going to be delicious prizes for everyone taking part!

Raver Tots at boxpark!

This looks incredible – raving with your little ones at Croydon box park.  Raver Tots will be announcing the line up very soon, you can expect nothing but the best DJ’s & MC’s in the game playing the best D&B, old skool + more! Sounds like great fun (and a little bit different from a traditional Easter Egg Hunt!)

All the fun of the farm… – Washbrooks Family Farm

Washbrooks, Hassocks is a firm favourite of our Haywards Heath Move Revolution team – this lovely family feel fun always has fantastic holiday activities and things to do. Check out their website for full details about their Easter Egg Hunt and also their Easter Quiz – alongside seeing all the baby chicks and lambs!

We wish you and your family a wonderful Easter.

Say Hello to Katie Rest – Move Revolution’s Lettings Manager

Katie is one of the most calm, exceptionally organised, diligent person you will ever meet – what could be more perfect attributes for a Lettings Manager!

Katie grew up in the Croydon area and went to school at Monks Orchard Primary School, Shirley and then Edenham high.  She lived close to her schools and then moved to Opington, Kent when she was 18. There was no way you will ever guess what she did next …before she became and estate agent!  

 

Katie’s forensic attention to detail makes sense when you know she studied a degree in Criminology and Psychology at University – she has a passion for organisation and having an in-depth understanding of everything she does! Whilst at university she was also a Special Constable for the Metropolitan Police – with a view to the possibility of becoming a Police Officer.  Although she loved being a Special Constable she realised that it wasn’t quite the career path for her… and her other passion for ‘houses’ was ignited!

 

Katie has now been working in estate agent for the past 8 years with a phenomenal success record.  Having started as a Lettings Negotiator she was promoted very quickly to a Special Negotiator  (which involved her moving from one office to another with a focus on increasing performance). Katie then became the Manager of an Estate Agency in Croydon growing the scale of the office and managing the team with great success – her high point was breaking the banking record for the company.

Katie joined Move Revolution following a break from Estate Agency to go on maternity and enjoy time with her gorgeous little girl Megan – who will be 2 in May this year! She loves nothing better than visiting farms with Megan and her other half Adam – Megan loves all the animals and spends lots of time giggling! When she is with her girlfriends she loves going shopping and popping out for a meal (especially Miller & Carter Steakhouse in Sevenoaks) If she has a chance to put up her feet, which is hard when you have a two year old, she loves a Lindor box of chocolates!

 

We asked Katie why she loves working at Move Revolution and working as a Lettings Manager

What is brilliant about Move Revolution’s Letting Department? 

The whole team is focused on delivering the best possible service for our Landlords and tenants. We all have a wealth of knowledge and experience in the industry – we have clear CDP’s to ensure our Landlords continually receive the most up to advice and excellent service.  I would like to think we are all very personable – we all love what we do, and I think that comes through in all our communication.  We are a great team – there is a family feel to our office, everyone is so helpful, polite and approachable it is a great place to work!

Katie’s RaterAgent reviews speak for themselves!

“Katie was inspirational in re-letting my property and finding a suitable tenant.  She had no hesitation in carrying out viewings out of hours and kept me fully informed of proceedings. I would recommend Katie and Move Revolution for managing the rental process as she made the experience more personal and not corporate. Keep up the good work Katie”

Raymond

“Katie was professional throughout the letting of our property and kept us fully informed during the process.”

Brandon

If you are Landlord thinking of letting your property and would love to speak with Katie please call 01737 888220, email katie.rest@moverevolution.com
